Details:A 5-Week Workshop in Creativity, Reflection & Self-Discovery
Life rarely moves in a straight line! Join Independence First for Mapping My Journey, a relaxed and creative five-week workshop designed to help participants reflect on their experiences, celebrate their strengths, and explore the unique paths that have shaped their lives.
Through creative mapping, storytelling, and group conversation, participants will have opportunities to:
-
Reflect on their personal life journeys and the experiences that have shaped who they are.
-
Rediscover personal strengths, interests, and passions.
-
Explore simple techniques for staying grounded and navigating life's challenges.
-
Connect with others and share experiences in a welcoming, supportive environment.
No artistic skills or previous experience are necessary! This workshop is about personal expression, reflection, and connection, not artistic ability. Everyone is welcome to participate.
